New Delhi: Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has declared the current phase as India’s golden era in sports, emphasizing that history will judge the nation based on its actions now. Speaking at a major sports conclave, Mandaviya highlighted the unprecedented achievements of Indian athletes on global platforms.
From Olympic podiums to Commonwealth Games triumphs, Indian sports have witnessed a meteoric rise. ‘This is our moment,’ Mandaviya asserted, urging stakeholders to invest heavily in infrastructure and talent development. He pointed to the success stories of Neeraj Chopra and PV Sindhu as testaments to what’s possible with sustained support.
The minister outlined a roadmap for the future, calling for increased funding, world-class training facilities, and grassroots programs. ‘We must build on this momentum. The world is watching, and history will remember what we do next,’ he said.
Experts echo this sentiment. Sports analysts note that India’s medal tally has doubled in the last decade, but sustaining this requires systemic changes. Challenges like inadequate rural sports infrastructure and doping issues remain, yet optimism prevails.
Mandaviya’s vision includes public-private partnerships to scout and nurture talent from every corner of the country. As India eyes the 2028 Olympics, his words serve as a rallying cry for a sporting revolution that could redefine the nation’s global image.
